Chapter 6: Purebloods

Driving the somewhat dilapidated RV out of the abandoned factory, the sky was already slightly bright, the sun was rising along the horizon, and there was nothing to hide in the darkness under this sun.

Shen Mu and Roma didn't know anything about the roads in San Francisco, so they were just blindly carried by Chrissy in the driver's seat.

In the slums of San Francisco's suburbs, the modern high-rise buildings can only be seen from afar, and the surrounding houses are generally low and old. Although it was still early, many residents had already stepped out of their homes and started to prepare for work in simple and inexpensive clothes.

After a few detours along the dirty, narrow path, a shop with a sign of 'Willys Watch Store' hanging at the entrance came into view.

Chrissy reached out and pulled the bell that was the doorbell at the door, and a string of crisp bells rang out.

Shen Mu and Rohm glanced at each other, and felt very strange about the scene in front of them, as if they had traveled back to the 18th century in an instant......

"Please come in!"

An old, hoarse male voice came from inside the shop.

Pushing the door to enter, a store pù that is not too small and not too big is imprinted in the eye, the walls and floors are all paved with wooden boards, several shelves are simply placed, and hundreds of old-fashioned clocks and pocket watches are messily placed on them, making this shop pù look more crowded.

A black old man stood behind the counter in a simple dress, his burly and muscular figure was bloated because of old age, and the three-inch short hair on the top of his head became snow-white, showing the ruthlessness of the years.

"Oh, it's Chrissy, why are you so free today?" The old man was surprised when he saw Chrissy, and then looked at them with the 'friendly' smile characteristic of a merchant.

Chrissy reached out and took off the leather gloves she was wearing, and slammed them on the table in front of the old man: "Caster, put away your disguise, they are their own people!" ”

When the old man heard this, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes became like wolves in the wilderness, cold and ruthless, and he looked at Chrissy with a questioning look and said, "You violated the rules of our organization by bringing strangers over without permission!" ”

"I told you, they're their own people!" Klee looked at him without fear, and then said again.

"I will complain to the organization because your actions have threatened the safety of the crew pigeon distribution members in San Francisco!" The old man said in a cold tone.

Shen Mu looked at the vindictive conversation between the two, chuckled and said to Rom: "It seems that we really underestimate them, I didn't expect an intelligence agency to have such strict rules." ”

Röhm shrugged: "I'm not surprised, after all, any organization must have strict confidentiality regulations, not to mention that they are still not part of the official underground intelligence agency, so they must be more cautious!" ”

Chrissy and the old man named Custer glared at both of them at the same time, and then snorted coldly.

"Okay, Custer, you should have received the news, the Christian brothers died last night, it was the two of them who did it, and my brother and I saw it with our own eyes, so I can be their guarantor!" Chrissy didn't seem to like the old man named Custer, and said in a cold tone.

"Hope you won't regret it!"

Hearing this, Custer looked at Shen Mu and the others in some surprise, and then stretched out his thick arms to the bottom of the counter.

I don't know what mechanism he manipulated, but the wall behind him suddenly split open, and a small door appeared in front of everyone.

"Hurry in, this door won't be open for long."

Shen Mu looked at this ingenious mechanism secret channel, and became more and more curious about this world in his heart, although it was the movie world of "Blade Warrior", it seemed to be different from the movie!

Walking down the pitch-black staircase, about 10 meters deep, an underground chamber appeared before them.

The old man Custer stood in front of them with a stern face, looked at Chrissy and asked, "Okay, this place is safe, the surrounding walls are designed by experts in the carrier pigeons, which can isolate the detection of the surrounding listening devices, tell me what do you want to know this time?" ”

"Shh~ I didn't expect this old man to be the intelligence officer of the carrier pigeon? I thought he was a gatekeeper! Röm looked at him in amazement, whistled in a huff, and then reached out and ripped the tie around his neck.

The result was, of course, the glaring of the old black man.

"Three questions!"

Shen Mu stood aside, looked at Custer with an indifferent expression and said,

"What's the first question?" Custer asked as he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart that hadn't appeared in years, and tried to keep his calm mind as much as possible.

"Where is the core stronghold of the vampire clan in San Francisco?" Shen Mu still asked without giving up, although this question Chris had promised that even the carrier pigeon person would definitely not know, but Shen Mu didn't mind wasting more words.

Sure enough, Custer sneered: "I'm afraid you have to ask the group of old immortals of the Vampire Clan Elders, we don't know!" ”

"Second question, who is Taylor in Christian's mouth?"

"Tyler Pate, a member of the pure-blooded vampires, was born as a vampire, a self-proclaimed nobleman, believing that he was born with the responsibility and obligation to rule over humanity and seek rights and status for the vampires!" Custer didn't hesitate at all, and said directly, obviously this information had already been deeply imprinted in his mind.

"By the way......" The corners of Custer's mouth showed a sneer and looked at Shen Mu and the two: "Tyler Pate is an old monster who has lived for 2 centuries, if you want to fight his idea, you have to be careful, don't be killed by the other party!" ”

"You've got a lot of nonsense, watch your door here, old man!" Röm glanced at Custer and said sarcastically.

Custer snorted coldly and said no more, in his opinion, he had done his duty, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

"Third question, do you know who Professor Vinson is?" Shen Mu stared at Karst with his eyes and asked in a calm tone.

When Rom on the side heard the name, his face did not change at all, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. Because Rom will never forget Jì, the name Professor Vinson is the key character in their side story, and judging from the rewards of side quests, in addition to the lack of failure penalties, Professor Vincent's importance is not weaker than that of the main quest!

"Professor Vinson? I don't remember that there were such people in the vampire clan! Custer thought for a moment, then said with certainty.

"Maybe he's not a vampire, just a human." Shen Mu said.

"I'm sorry, but carrier pigeons are dedicated to vampire hunters, and monitoring ordinary people is beyond our purpose, maybe you should ask the FBI in the United States, they definitely have a lot more intelligence sources than we do in this regard!"

"Thank you!"

Shen Mu nodded and said, and then prepared to leave without hesitation, followed by Rom on the side.

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

Chrissy asked out loud, I don't know why, seeing the expressions of Shen Mu and Roma at this time, she had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"It's daytime, and since you hunters who have been against vampires all day long can't find a place for them to hide, we naturally won't have such extravagant hopes, so let's use our free time during the day to do some of the chores that must be done."

Shen Mu walked to the end of the stairs and reached out in front of the two of them and knocked on the hard wall: "How can this thing be opened?" ”

Custer stretched out his hand and twisted on a mechanism in the corner, and the wall suddenly opened, and Shen Mu and Rohm walked out without hesitation.

In the secret room, only Custer and Chrissy were left.

"Chrissy, who the hell are they? Not vampires, but I can tell they're definitely not vampire hunters either! Custer asked, looking at Chrissy.

"Who are they? Actually, I don't know. Chrissy said with a complicated expression.

………………………………………………

"Hey, are we going to see Professor Vincennes next?"

Rom and Shen Mu walked side by side on the street and asked in a low voice.

"Well, looking for Professor Vincent during the day, and finding a way to find the core stronghold of the vampire clan at night, although I am a little tired, but compared to the reward after completing the task, this bit of hard work is nothing at all." Shen Mu said.

Röhm shrugged: "Okay, it's just a little harder, but don't you really want to listen to that old man and ask the FBI, right?" It's a silly idea. ”

Shen Mu chuckled: "Where is the need for such trouble, Professor Vincent...... Since you're a professor, it's the same to ask at school! ”

Rohm understood: "I understand, but there are many universities in San Francisco, and people with professorial titles are probably walking all over the place!" ”

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Don't worry, how can I say that I used to be a professional killer, give me a computer, and I'll just hack into the database and search it."

"Computer? Simple, how long do you have to take it? ”

"1 hour!"

Back in the city, in an Internet café, Rohm lived up to expectations and hacked into the government's computer system: "Professor Vinson...... Professor Vincent...... Got it! Röhm sat down in front of the computer and said with a confident smile on his face: "Professor Vincent Bruno is a lecturer at the University of California, San Francisco, and his research project is "The Disintegration and Recombination of the Human Gene Chain"! ”

"That's him!"

When the name of Professor Vincent Bruno's research project was pronounced, Rohm and Shen Mu said in unison.

"This Professor Vincent is 62 years old, and this project alone has been researched for nearly 20 years, probably because the research funds are not sufficient, so the progress has been very slow over the years, it seems that the research results mentioned by the main god space are related to this project on the decomposition and recombination of gene chains, which is why he was targeted by vampires." Röhm pointed to the photo of the gray-haired, glass-bottomed elderly man on the computer screen.

"I can't be wrong, although I don't understand these academic studies, but just listen to the name and know that it's not a simple thing...... Vampires who spend their days trying to fix their genetic defects won't let it go. ”

Shen Mu clenched his fists, glanced at the photos on the computer, and silently remembered Professor Vincent's appearance in his mind.

"There are two places where Professor Vincennes can be found, one is in his room at the University of California, and the other is in his home." As Rohm spoke, his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and soon, the computer screen turned, revealing two addresses: "Which one do you choose?" ”

"I'll go to his house, and the school will be handed over to you!" Shen Mu looked at the address and turned to leave after confirming that he had memorized it.

"When it's done, remember to meet at the factory!" Röm silently turned off his computer and sat there shaking his neck, a creaking crunch at his joints.
